Sony's Xperia impressive battery management system

Have any of you really given any thoughts on the power management of the Sony Xperia line? You might want to look into it. With the latest release of Lollipop 5.1.1, it has made a tremendous leap in the performance of the Xperia line of devices, notably the Xperia Z2 & Z3.

I can get approximately 20 minutes worth of screen time per 6% which brings me to about 5 hours worth of screen time on a continuous play. This would mean I can play a video game or watch Netflix for good solid 5 hours non-stop.

Who can honestly say that almost 2 years with their smartphone can get a nearly as good battery as when you first got it? Not a lot and that's just a fact. The battery over a period of time will lose some of its capacity. Sony has done an excellent job with power management and it shows in the stats.

The above provides you with an overview of my actual usage over the period of 24 hours plus. I get about 30hours worth of usage per charge with an average of 3 hours of screen time or more. It all depends on the usage you make and this can vary a lot. This would be typical, email, browsing, texting, hangouts, a lot of social media, some YouTube etc...

I rarely make use of the extreme power features that's built into the Xperia line. You can take a look at the various settings that's provided to Sony Xperia users.

I'd like to hear about your own experience with the device you have. How's the battery life on a regular basis, actual screen time in real world usage.

We've discussed several times the need to sometimes take our online activity away from our phone (which is funny, how it wasn't that long ago we were talking about moving our internet activities from desktop to 'mobile').

As much as we do a lot on the phone, there are some things we just need to sit at an actual keyboard and get some work done. We have tablets that try to act like laptops and not quite laptops trying to act like tablets...

Let's look at an actual laptop. We reviewed the Vivobook recently, but that was an actual Windows laptop, and remember, we here at Android Coliseum are more focused on Android / Google related, so let's look at the Chromebook variant of the Vivobook.

I'm calling the C423N the Vivobook variant in Chromebook style because it also has the 'NanoEdge' display (slim bezels).

I've come to the realization I'm an anomaly. I have cables usually just about anywhere I go. My desk, my car, my bag, several desks/coffee tables in my house ... and further to that I tend to have a selection of some sort of power bank near me.
Typically, if someone around me is making motions that their battery is low I have it covered for them.
Apparently, that may not be the case for some people.

So, I ask you - do you share charging options with your friends?
Huawei's new Mate 20 Pro has a huge 4200mAh battery and has the option to share that juice with a friend - even doing so wirelessly! Pretty cool.
Would you do that?
Huawei Canada conducted a survey and found that 70% said that having a battery that lasts for an entire day is important.

Reading books is not something that's on my favorite thing to do list, but having my Android device read it out to me really draws me in. To make things even more interesting, I'm going to show you how to try a different voice when having your device read your book for you.
